Carpal Tunnel: There are multiple treatments for carpal tunnel syndrome, an unpredictable neurologic condition. Night splints, activity modification and injections are all conservative options, though surgical intervention may eventually be needed. An emg/nerve conduction study can help determine the severity of your cts.

Usually : Although the frequency and severity of symptoms may vary, once you have cts, it does not go away. It can be temporarily worse during pregnancy. Many people can get by with conservative care. It it gets too bothersome, surgery has a very good success rate and rarely recurs. Based on your current symptoms, i would simply continue with conservative care. Wearing a wrist splint at night may help.

Some approaches: Agree with dr vaught regarding wrist splint which should be worn at night. Also, however, try pyridoxine 100 mg twice daily for about 6-8 weeks, and thereafter try a b-100 complex, once daily. If things worsen, then consider an arthroscopic surgical approach, which has a very high success rate.
